The Safest Place to go on UC Berkeley’s Campus during the 2012 Apocalypse
Clients: on UC Berkeley ’s Campus-Network Analysis based on someone centrally located, at the Sather Tower Campenile
Problem: 2012 Apocalypse-No access to public utilities, such as water and electricity-Natural Disasters including �ooding and earthquakes-High crime: looting, mobs, etc.
Two Methods:1. Suitability Analysis to �nd the location with the most favorable conditions2. Network Analysis to �nd the accessible locations
ConclusionsThe Faculty Club, Hilgard/Giannini Hall, the open area east of Memorial Glade, and Dwinell , most suitable for refuge during an emergency (circled in black above)These sites are all easily accessible from central campus, have access to fresh water, are located on high ground, and are far from crime, geological hazards, fault lines, and toxic sites.
The South and West sides of campus are least suitable because of their low elevations and proximity to crime and toxic sites.

Does not take into account travel time to reach these locations, which is why the Network Analysis was so importantSource: UC Berkeley Campus Database, John Radke

Limitations of Data-Data was limited to extents of campus-Network analysis only takes into account paths that can be driven on, not the numerous pedestiran routes around campus-Crime and toxic site data was only relevant to the Western part of campus-In the future, data for more opportunites could be found, such as emergency supplies or convenience stores
